We dine at Rays in the city anytime we’re in town for a convention. The food and service are always wonderful. Their seafood is the best, IMO. Calamari is to die for and although they charge for the bread basket now, you must have it. So good!

Our server was great, time timing to be seated, the timing for food and the actual meal was excellent. I had the blackened Salmon and my manager had the Swordfish. We both cleared our plates and I normally can't eat more than half of my meal. It was my first time dining there and the restaurant lived up to the reputation that I have heard of it over the years.
